What is a Learning Center?
A learning center is a small area within the classroom where students
work alone or interact with others, using instructional materials to explore
one or more subject areas. It is a place where a variety of activities
introduce, reinforce, and/or extend learning, often without the assistance
of the classroom teacher.
How to Run Learning Center Activities in a Kindergarten Classroom?
Learning center activities allow kindergarten students to practice their
skills while learning to work independently and in groups. For a
teacher, the most difficult part of learning centers can be figuring out
how to coordinate them. If done well, most of the center activities
should run smoothly with little adult direction; plus, they should allow
a teacher the opportunity use center time for small group instruction.
